Simple Steps:-
  • Flash the rom you want as base(Stock JPM,JPF etc..)
  • Deodex the rom(optional)
  • Root your phone
  • Apply live wallpaper Mod(optional)
  • Remove un nessasory apps(optional)
  • Add custom theme(replace the framework n tw framework)
  • When done Type this command in adb
Code:
adb shell
su
mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/stl9 /system
dd if=/dev/block/stl6 of=/sdcard/factoryfs.rfs
And wait for 10 min(max)

**MAKE SURE YOU HAVE SD CARD INSIDE BEFORE TYPING THE COMMAND ABOVE**


  • Then go to sd card and there must be a new file called factoryfs.rfs
  • Now copy the factoryfs.rfs file from sd to PC.
  • Now open the .tar file of the base rom which you flashed before,using Total Commander.
  • Replace the factoryfs.rfs from the base to the one which you just made in sd.
  • Then close Total Commander and flash your custom made rom using odin.
If any failure then start form step 1 again! And this time stick to the procedure.

Can u pls make a tutorial on "[How to] port themes and applications"

i can show how but not completely show how to port the whole theme because there are many pngs to resize and its not possible to finish them all in one video...
But as i said i can show how to compare and resize, well thats if you'll want

dont need to get sad dude, you can still make another one...
Explain it your way(maybe better than what i did)
And there is nothing like reserved thread idea or something like that ?
You could have at least reserved a thread for it..
Anyway there is no one stopping you on xda,dont get upset you can still do it if you want
and about making video guides i make them even before i joined xda..no point there but just telling

    Why not join forces in building a whole new gingerbread or Ice-cream sandwich than releasing bulk of the modded version of official ROM?:rolleyes: I feel its a waste of time even to "pray" to get any official gingerbread from those motherf#cking assholes back at Samsung :p
    Count me a supporter & tester etc if anyone taking that initiative :D
